Positioning the speakers

How you set up your speakers can affect the bass and the sound field. Note the following points: ≥ Place speakers on flat secure bases. ≥ Placing speakers too close to floors, walls, and corners can result in excessive bass. Cover walls and windows with thick curtains. ≥ Left and right speakers are interchangeable, but front and surround speakers are not. Setup example Place the front, center, and surround speakers at approximately the same distance from the seating position. The angles in the diagram are approximate.

Notes on speaker use

Using other speakers can damage the unit, and sound quality will be negatively affected. ≥ Set the speakers up on an even surface to prevent them from falling. Take proper precautions to prevent the speakers from falling if you cannot set them up on an even surface.

≥ You can damage your speakers and shorten their useful life if you play sound at high levels over extended periods. ≥ Reduce the volume in the following cases to avoid damage: – When playing distorted sound. – When the speakers are reverberating due to a record player, noise from FM broadcasts, or continuous signals from an oscillator, test disc, or electronic instrument. – When adjusting the sound quality. – When turning the unit on or off.

Main unit [Note] ≥ Keep your speakers at least 10 mm (13/32q) away from the system for proper ventilation. ≥ To allow for proper ventilation and to maintain good airflow around the main unit, position it with at least 5 cm (2q) of space on all sides. ≥ Do not block the ventilation holes of the main unit.

Center speaker ≥ Vibration caused by the center speaker can disrupt the picture if it is placed directly on the television. Put the center speaker on a rack or shelf. ≥ To prevent the speakers from falling, do not place directly on top of the television.

If irregular coloring occurs on your television

Place to the right or left of the television, on the floor or a sturdy shelf so that it will not cause vibration. Leave about 30 cm (1113/16q) from the television.

Caution ≥ Do not stand on the base. e.g. [HT740] [HT743] Front speaker Be cautious when children are near.

≥ Do not touch the netted area of the speakers.

e.g. [HT740] [HT743] Surround speaker

The front and center speakers are designed to be used close to a television, but the picture may be affected with some televisions and setup combinations. If this occurs, turn the television off for about 30 minutes. The demagnetizing function of the television should correct the problem. If it persists, move the speakers further away from the television.

Caution ≥ The main unit and supplied speakers are to be used only as indicated in this setup. Failure to do so may lead to damage to the amplifier and/ or the speakers, and may result in the risk of fire. Consult a qualified service person if damage has occurred or if you experience a sudden change in performance. ≥ Do not attempt to attach these speakers to walls using methods other than those described in this manual.

≥Using the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals The COMPONENT VIDEO OUT terminals provides a purer picture than the S-VIDEO OUT terminal. These terminals can be used for either interlaced or progressive output. Connection using these terminals outputs the color difference signals (PB/PR) and luminance signal (Y) separately in order to achieve high fidelity in reproducing colors. ≥ The description of the component video input terminals depends on the television or monitor (e.g. Y/PB/PR, Y/B-Y/R-Y, Y/CB/CR). Connect to terminals of the same color. ≥ After making this connection, select “Darker” from the “Black Level Control” in the “Video” tab (➜ page 24).

To enjoy progressive video ≥ Connect to a progressive output compatible television. 1 Set “Video Output” to “Off” (➜ page 24, “HDMI” tab). 2 Set “Video Output Mode” to “480p”, and then follow the instructions on the menu screen (➜ page 21, Picture Menu). ≥ All Panasonic televisions that have 480p input connectors are compatible.

Glossary PM (Content Protection for Prerecorded Media)

JPEG (t Photographic Experts Group)

A copy protection system used for DVD-Audio files. This unit s PM.

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree of compression.

Decoder A decoder restores the coded audio signals on DVDs to normal. This is called decoding.

Dolby Digital This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can also be multi-channel audio. A large amount of audio information can be recorded on one disc using this method.

Linear PCM (pulse code modulation) These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on CDs.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) An audio compression method that compresses audio to approximately one tenth of its size without any considerable loss of audio quality.

DTS (Digital Theater Systems)

Playback control (PBC)

This surround system is used in many movie theaters around the world. There is good separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are possible.

If a Video CD has playback control, you can select scenes and information with menus.

Dynamic range

NTSC, the video signal standard, has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines, whereas progressive scanning uses twice the number of scan lines. This is called 480p. Using progressive output, you can enjoy the high-resolution video recorded on media such as DVD-Video. Your television must be compatible to enjoy progressive video.

Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.

Frame still and field still Frames are the still pictures that go together to make a moving picture. There are about 30 frames shown each second. One frame is made up of two fields. A regular television shows these fields one after the other to create frames. A still is shown when you pause a moving picture. A frame still is made up of two alternating fields, so the picture may appear blurred, but overall quality is high. A field still is not blurred, but it has only half the information of a frame still so picture quality is lower.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

Product Service / Glossary

In the U.S.A., refer to “Customer Services Directory” on page 37.

Progressive/Interlaced

Sampling frequency Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave (analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the original sound.

WMA (Windows MediaTM Audio) WMA is a compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It achieves the same sound quality as MP3 with a file size that is smaller than that of MP3.

HDMI is a next-generation digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video and audio signals on a single cable. This unit s high-definition video output (720p,1080i) from the HDMI AV OUT terminal. To enjoy highdefinition video, a high-definition compatible television is required. MPEG 2, the video compression standard adopted for use with DVDVideo, codes frames using these 3 picture types. I: Intra coded picture This picture has the best quality and is the best to use when adjusting the picture. P: Predictive coded picture This picture is calculated based on past I- or P-pictures. B: Bidirectionally-predictive coded picture This picture is calculated by comparing past and future I- and P-pictures so it has the lowest volume of information.

Listening caution EST. 1924

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation. Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

To establish a safe level: ≥ Start your volume control at a low setting. ≥ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: ≥ Set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
